Chapter 61

"You want to watch me forge a sword?" Li Aoyun couldn't help but be stunned.

"En!" Zhan Chen looked at him resolutely.

"Alright, you are only allowed to watch and do not speak. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the quality of the sword I forge for you."

"Understood."

Thus, Zhan Chen and Xiao Si followed Li Aoyun into his broken down house.

As soon as they entered the house, Zhan Chen felt a wave of hot air rushing towards him. Thus, he looked around the house and discovered the source of the hot air. It was actually a furnace that was as tall as a person.

"What's going on with this furnace? The heat emitted from it is not on the same level as a normal furnace. If it was a normal furnace, it would have long melted under such high temperature. "Zhan Chen was secretly shocked.

Zhang Si could be considered to be experienced. He had long distanced himself from the furnace because with his cultivation of the second layer of the Martial Disciple realm, it was impossible for him to withstand such a high temperature.

On the other hand, Zhan Chen also felt very uncomfortable. Fire subdued metal. The true qi in his body had an instinctive aversion to high temperatures. However, in order to observe the entire process of forging the sword in detail, he still persisted in staring at the furnace.

When Li Aoyun saw that he was interested in this furnace, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He explained: "This furnace is different from those normal furnaces that you usually see. It is completely made of high temperature resistant Fire Cloud Steel. It can withstand a high temperature of several thousand degrees."

"And the fire that you see in the furnace is also not normal fire. It is earth fire that I drew from the underground magma." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the furnace. An even more intense wave of heat immediately surged out.

Zhan Chen felt that the air in his eyes was being warped by this wave of heat. Everything around him seemed to be melting. As for Zhang Si, who was behind him, he did not know when he had retreated out of the house. He was carefully looking at the terrifying flames in the furnace.

Li Aoyun smiled slightly and said: "And if you want to control this kind of earth fire, you need to have a deep understanding of fire attribute true qi. I can also raise the temperature of the furnace even higher!"

As he spoke, he used his finger to write in the air. Fire attribute true qi immediately surged out from his fingertip, forming a line of runes. At this moment, he pointed at the furnace and said: "Condense!"

Before the flame rune entered the furnace, a miraculous scene appeared. The originally wantonly waving flames of the Earth Fire suddenly converged, forming a small red fireball. It slowly wriggled as if it had become a lot gentler. The temperature in the room also dropped, returning to its normal state.

However, Zhan Chen could clearly feel that the small ball of fire contained a terrifying amount of heat. If he were to throw it into the furnace now, it would be even more terrifying. If he were to throw a piece of ordinary iron into it, it would be.

"This is the Fire Condensation Art that I created. It can further raise the temperature of the Earth Fire. This way, some refining materials that are difficult to melt can also be easily melted. This is where I am better than those ordinary refiners!" When Li Aoyun said this, his tone was a little arrogant. However, he did have the right to be arrogant.

Then, he released his finger and the ball of fire quickly expanded, turning back into a raging fire. The temperature in the house quickly rose again.

After that, he closed the door of the furnace, and the temperature in the room dropped. He sat to one side, grabbed a lump of clay, and began to carve the shape of a sword. Once he entered the field of sword crafting, he seemed to be in a trance. Every stroke was meticulous and meticulous, like an artist creating a great painting, meticulous and meticulous.

His obsession seemed to be passed on to others. Even Zhan Chen, who was beside him, held his breath and carefully watched.

When the shape of the sword was finished, he looked left and right. Suddenly, he frowned and smashed the masterpiece that he had painstakingly carved into pieces. This unexpected action almost made Zhan Chen cry out, feeling pity for him.

However, Li Aoyun did not feel pity at all. Just like that, he destroyed the shapes that he carved one by one. Originally, he would have only needed two hours to carve the shape, but he took three days to carve it.

Until the last shape was carved, Li Aoyun looked left and right and finally revealed a smile. He was satisfied.

He placed the carved pattern into the furnace and calcined it. Not long after, a sword pattern was completed.

Following that, he opened the furnace lid and manipulated the Fire Condensation Technique to raise the temperature of the Earth Fire to the highest. He then patted the Cosmos Sack on his waist and all kinds of rare refining materials flew into the furnace to be melted.

This really required a lot of physical strength. Even with the high temperature of the Earth Fire, smelting some rare refining materials still required a lot of time. Moreover, Li Aoyun had thrown more than ten kinds of materials into the furnace!

During this process, he maintained the Fire Condensation Technique while eating pills to recover his True Qi. A whole two days had passed, but he did not close his eyes for even a moment as he persevered.

At this moment, Zhan Chen no longer felt that the 200 mid-grade Primordial Stones that he had spent was a little expensive. Just based on Li Aoyun's determination, this price was worth it!

When these materials had all melted into liquid, he still had to continue maintaining the Earth Fire to further purify it and remove the last impurities in the materials. This step could only be achieved by the Earth Fire, which was almost ten times hotter than ordinary fire. To forge a peerless sword, one could not be careless at all.

In the fire of the furnace, a ball of amber-colored transparent liquid was slowly rolling, just like a cup of pure grape wine. Li Aoyun silently stared at the ball of liquid. He patted his Cosmos Bag and took out the main material he was going to put in — Millennium Cold Iron.

The Millennium Cold Iron could only be considered as a second-grade refining material, so it could not withstand the high temperature of the concentrated Earth Fire. Thus, the moment Li Aoyun threw the Millennium Cold Iron into the furnace, he immediately stopped his Fire Condensation Technique. The Millennium Cold Iron quickly turned into a large ball of liquid and perfectly fused with the original amber metal liquid in the furnace.

At this moment, Li Aoyun gently flicked his finger, and the ball of hot liquid flew out of the furnace and fell into the shape that he had already prepared. It formed the shape of a sword and quickly solidified, becoming a sword embryo.

The newly formed sword embryo was still very rough and needed to be polished further. Thus, Li Aoyun picked up his hammer and struck the sword according to a unique rhythm and force release method. From time to time, he would put the sword embryo into the furnace to quench it.

At this time, a full ten days had passed, but Li Aoyun was still waving the hammer in his hand and striking it non-stop. "Ding ding ding" Accompanied by a series of melodious hammering sounds, the peerless sword gradually revealed its ferocious appearance.

When the hammer fell for the last time, the sharp sword suddenly began to tremble like a newborn crying.

At this moment, Li Aoyun shouted, "Zhan Chen, quick! I'll take your blood essence and sprinkle it on the sword! "

Zhan Chen was startled and hurriedly bit his tongue. He forced out a mouthful of blood essence and sprinkled it on the sword. After spitting out this mouthful of blood essence, Zhan Chen's spirit became much more sluggish. Blood essence was a martial artist's innate foundation. Every drop was extremely precious. If he lost a drop of blood essence, he wouldn't be able to recover it even after ten days!

However, his effort wasn't in vain. When the blood essence sprinkled on the sword, it entered it. The sword's trembling became even more intense. Suddenly, it soared into the sky and finally hung in the air, reflecting rays of multicolored light.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Rays of multicolored light quickly appeared in front of the two of them, appearing incomparably magnificent.

"A seventh-grade sword?" Li Aoyun muttered, but there was a trace of regret in his tone. But suddenly, his eyes widened and he stared at the treasured sword that he had forged.

This was because other than the seven rays of multicolored light, the eighth ray of multicolored light had also stretched out its feeler — — a ray of black multicolored light.

Immediately, Li Aoyun's face became incomparably excited. He laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! I, Li Aoyun, have forged another eighth-grade sword. "

And that black multicolored light seemed to respond to his shout and blossomed even more. Suddenly, the sky gradually darkened. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, thunder and lightning resonated, and a heavy downpour started.

In the wind and rain, the new sword let out waves of ferocious sword cries. It was like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain and roaring loudly.
